< Ruth 3 >

1 And she lodged with her mother-in-law: and Noemin her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
Hitichun nikhat Naomi in Ruth kom’a chun, “Kachanu keiman na-inchen theina ding ngaito peh leng hichu nang dinga phalou ding ham?
2 And now [is] not Booz our kinsman, with whose damsels you were? behold, he winnows barley this night in the floor.
Boaz hi eini dinga i-kinai pi pen i-inko’u khat ahi, chule khotona neitah anungah goihotoh natoh khomsah jing ahi. Tujan’a hi aman achangphol’a sakol chang aden ahi.
3 But do you wash, and anoint yourself, and put your raiment upon you, and go up to the threshing floor: do not discover yourself to the man until he has done eating and drinking.
Hijeh chun kasei bang bang hin bollin, “Kisiltheng sel inlang thao kinunlang navon hoipen kivon inlang, achangvohna pholla chun gachesuh’in ahinla aneh’a adonchai tokah’in Boaz chu kimusah hih in.
4 And it shall come to pass when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he lies down, and shall come and lift up the covering of his feet, and shall lie down; and he shall tell you what you shall do.
Alup tengleh alupna mun chu melchih’in, chuteng chenlang akengphang chu hohdoh inlang hilai mun’ah chun lum in. Hiteng chuleh aman nabolding nahin seipih tante,” ati.
5 And Ruth said to her, All that you shall say, I will do.
Ruth nin adonbutin, “Bollin nati tichu kabol jeng ding ahi,” ati.
6 And she went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law enjoined her.
Hiche jan chun amanu jong achesuh in atehpi’n bol ding’a aseipeh jouse chu aboltan ahi.
7 And Booz ate and drank, and his heart was glad, and he came to lie down by the side of the heap of corn; and she came secretly, and lifted up the covering of his feet.
Boaz chun aneh’a adonjouva chuleh lungkipah tah a aum jouvin Boaz chu achang kiset vum’na pang’a chun agalumtan ahi. Hichun Ruth jong kangchan hung vahlut’in, akengphang teni ahohdoh in alumtai.
8 And it came to pass at midnight that the man was amazed, and troubled, and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Jan khangkim donnin Boaz chu ahung kin khang in, agah kihei leh akengphang kom’a numei khat analup chu amudoh tan ahi.
9 And he said, Who are you? and she said, I am your handmaid Ruth; spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid, for you are a near relation.
Hichun aman jong “Koi nahim?” tia adohleh, numeinu chun ahin donbut’in “Keima nasohnu Ruth kahi, naponchu keijong neihin silpehin ajeh chu nangma hi insungmi kinaipi penchu nahi,” ati.
10 And Booz said, Blessed [be] you of the Lord God, [my] daughter, for you have made your latter kindness greater than the former, in that you follow not after young men, whether [any be] poor or rich.
Hichun Boaz injong aseijin, “Kachanu Pakaiyin phatthei naboh hen, nangman natoh masat thilpha sanga jong tuahi aphacheh nabol kit ahitai, hao-hen vaijongleh gollhang hojoh hol louva umah nahi.
11 And now fear not, my daughter, whatever you shall say I will do to you; for all the tribe of my people knows that you are a virtuous woman.
Chuti ahile, tun kachanu lungkham hih in keiman boldinga lom hochu hinbol nange, ajeh chu hiche khopi sunga mijouse hin nangma hi numei phachomtah nahi ahetsoh keiyu ahi.
12 And now I am truly akin to you; nevertheless there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Keima hi nakinaipi insungmi chu kahinai ahinla keisanga nakinaipi khat aum nalai in ahi.
13 Lodge [here] for the night, and it shall be in the morning, if he will do the part of a kinsman to you, well—let him do it: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, I will do the kinsman's part to you, [as] the Lord lives; lie down till the morning.
Tujan gehkhovah den inlang, jingkah teng amachun phung kinaipi toh dingdol akin nabolpeh leh apha ahijinge, ahinlah aman hichu abol nomlouva ahileh hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, keiman nabolpeh nang nge, tun jingkah geijin umtan,” ati.
14 And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before a man could know his neighbor; and Booz said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
Hitichun Ruth jong Boaz kengphangbulla chun jingkah geijin alum’in, ahin jingkah lang kungbul le mi kimah donin athoudohin, Boaz in, “Hiche changvohna pholla hin numei aumme ti koimachan hetda hen,” ati
15 And he said to her, Bring the apron that is upon you: and she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and put them upon her, and she went into the city.
Hichejou chun Boaz in amanu koma chun, “Napon chu hin phan” atin sakol chang chu atena dim gup jen asempeh in akiputsah tai, hitichun khopi sunglang’a chun achetan ahi.
16 And Ruth went in to her mother-in-law, and she said to her, [My] daughter! and [Ruth] told her all that the man had done to her.
Ruth chu atehpi kom alhun phat’in Naomi’n, “Ipi toh nagabah hinam?” atileh, Ruth chun Boaz in abolpeh hojouse chu aseipeh tan ahi.
17 And she said to her, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said to me, Go not empty to your mother-in-law.
Chuleh Ruth chun aseiyin, “Natehpi komma sagoh keuva nakinung le louding ahi tin sakol chang atenadim gup eihin pohsah e,” ati.
18 And she said, Sit still, [my] daughter, until you shall know how the matter will fall out; for the man will not rest until the matter be accomplished this day.
Hichun Naomi’n amanu kommah, “Kanao Itobang thil hung sohdoh mong mong am ti ijah kahsen ngah hat’in, amapa chun tunia hi thilkhat atohlhah tokah a umthimlou helding ahi,” ati.
